The Nets Offense: You Want to Look Away, But Can’t

The Nets offense is like a car crash. You know the saying right? When something is so bad, yet, for some reason you just are not able to look away. That has been the Nets offense (at least recently), just instead of a six car pile up on the interstate, it’s been a five player fumble on the hardwood.

The offense has been bad, but most possessions start off so promising an innocent, buzzing with movement and organization, much like a highway would on any morning. But all it takes is one miscommunication or one sudden brake and chaos ensues.

Because words alone simply cannot do enough justice to the extent of failure the Nets have had offensively, we’ve put together a video of all that’s gone wrong over the last two games. Beware, however, that this is not just a video of bad plays. This is the worst of the worst. Passes dropped, air balls, turnovers – this is the worst of the worst. Genuine cringeworthy basketball.

I dare you to look away.

Pauly B 5 pts

That was a scary 4:41. The lack of finishing inside is a huge concern. It just seems that many of the Nets players are trying to do more than what they're capable of doing. The other strange thing was the amount of times open shots were not taken and turned into contested shots

tae 8 pts

Avery Johnson was never a good coach, and rode the coat-tails of possibly the most stacked Mavericks team ever.

Sammyfein 19 pts

How much of the blame lies with poor coaching and how much of it lies with poor personnel? To me this is the biggest question on Billy King's table, or maybe more accurately, Sergey Kushchenko's (the board of director of the Nets) table.

I hope Sergey is really asking these questions to himself because I think after this season you need to take a long and hard look at whether Avery Johnson was the right choice (clearly I think he should be fired but it's not up to me)

Sammyfein my impression, from this video at least, is poor personnel. sure there are times when our offense just has no direction and looks completely lost, but most of these are errors made on part of the players, mostly Petro and Shawne Williams. Deron has some passes to no where but how do we know there wasn't supposed to be a guy rotating to that spot?

Despite his occasional flubs, which every good point guard is prone to make once in a while, for the most part in this video I see Deron making the write pass only to see his teammate screw it up somehow. I'm by no means giving a Deron (or Avery) a free press, but IMO more than anything this video shows just how bad our active roster is.

Bad Behavior has blocked 3671 access attempts in the last 7 days.
